Dec 06, 2022 (Q Unknown) - Includes 1-neelands NMI = 41P/11 Ag 3; 2-Eliza Lake (Caswell-Eplett) NMI 41P11 Ag4, Vein: 8-10 cm quartz-calcite and cobalt minerals and, silver in Newnorth dh 415 m W of ref point. Mechanical stripping of two zones in 1993 yielded significant cobalt and nickel values. Sampling in Zone L 6+00 N obtained Co values up to 0.214% and 0.488%, whereas Ni values ranged between 0.008% and 0.088%. Sampling in Zone L4+50 N resulted in significantly higher Co (up to 6.60%) and Ni (up to 0.442%) values. Assay values obtained from grab samples from pits and trenches on the property were as high as 7.04% Co, 4.32% Cu and 0.59% Ni.
